Old friend asked: "I thought you were dead or in jail."

Turned out, I basically am in jail. Here's why:

Every minute you're not grinding, there's consequences. The basics—food, water, survival—all demanding attention. Everyone's clawing at everyone else, trying to get ahead. Blame goes around in circles, nobody takes responsibility. You see the same mistakes repeat over and over. Market crashes every hour like clockwork. And the people around you? Mix of hustlers, scammers, lunatics. No escape, just the grind.

Yep, welcome to the game.⚫
